While I am not as harsh on Picard S1 and S2 as other people, I still have complaints about how silly it sometimes got (the vastly differing degrees of caring about messing up the timeline by changing details in S2 was confusing, sometimes a small change was bad, other times characters just made big changes..).

What I will say about Picard as a whole though, especially in S1 and S2, is that how Picard's character grows and changes felt really well done.

spoilerPicard's mother committing suicide and him feeling responsible in a way, while also remembering his dad as this kind of villain as a way to wall off his emotional trauma and that then impacting him for the rest of his life felt very believable to me.

As a whole I definitely enjoyed Picard, it makes it more fun to watch TNG with the retrospective knowledge of who Picard becomes and what Picard isn't talking about all those years on TNG.
